Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 365 Ask Odin if He dares to kill me?

Compared to Tyr's rough and bold appearance, the new face looked feminine and deep. The original long beard was gone, leaving only a few tufts of moustache more than an inch long on the upper jaw and chin.

He had fiery red hair that did not reach his shoulders when it was loose, but more often than not, it was like a flame burning upwards, with all the ends of his hair floating upwards in the air. The animal skins and leather armor on his body also changed in appearance, with many traces of cutting and modification, making them more exquisite and luxurious.

At the same time, the broken right hand grew back quietly; the long sword on the waist became a few inches shorter and narrower, becoming more suitable for human use rather than a weapon for a two-meter-four-five giant.

By the way, His body size has also shrunk significantly; although He is still nearly two meters tall, it is not that special compared to the average adult male in Northern Europe.

"The God of Lies and Trickery?" Lin You called out uncertainly, and when he saw that the other party smiled and did not object, he immediately understood; "You have a clear understanding of yourself and your evaluation is very accurate, Lord Loki. As the saying goes, it is valuable to know yourself. You are quite valuable."

He was referring to what the other party had previously said in the person of Tyr: "cunning, sharp, opportunistic, shirking responsibility, and even breaking promises."

Loki looked at the writer with a mixture of amusement and confusion, and asked out of the blue, "You look like a hedgehog covered in thorns. You can offend people just by opening your mouth. You are totally different from the writer I heard about in the past."

"Is it possible that the difference in attitude shown in my words and deeds is actually closely related to the person I am talking to?" Lin You retorted.

"You are cautious, yet fearless. It seems contradictory, but when you think about it, it makes sense." Loki drew the long sword from his waist while laughing. It was a typical Viking sword with a large and thick weighted ball and a simple and sturdy guard. "Your style of doing things is based on a special foundation, which is the immortal soul and the protection of many supreme gods."

Lin You calmly moved his feet, widening the distance between the two of them, maintaining the most suitable attack and defense distance for the Snake Scepter. "So?" He asked calmly; if it was before the assassination, he would definitely not be able to remain calm when facing a true god.

"That's why I feel strange. In the time forbidden zone, you can't get any help from the outside world. How dare you challenge a true God?" Loki took an offensive stance. Although he was not a god famous for his fighting ability, he had the Nordic martial spirit as his foundation, so his swordsmanship could not be bad.

"You are also in the time forbidden zone and cannot contact the Nine Realms in time; otherwise you can ask Odin now to see if he dares..." Lin You was halfway through his words when he suddenly swung the scepter backwards; there was a loud "bang" sound, and the scepter blocked the sword that was chopped towards the back of his neck in time.

Loki, who was originally talking to Lin You in front, still had a sneer on his face, but his figure gradually disappeared.

Lin You half turned around and looked behind him, and there was indeed another Loki figure gradually taking shape. The next moment, Lin You ignored Loki behind him, flipped the snake-wrapped scepter in his hand, and stabbed it towards the place where Loki was originally.

There was a series of "clang" sounds, and Loki's disappearing figure suddenly became solid again; because he was caught off guard and his true form was seen through, Loki was unable to defend himself and was entangled by the golden snake's body and his Viking sword.

The snake raised its head high, its sharp fangs dripping with poisonous saliva, and bit down on the neck of the God of Lies and Deception.

The god-killing poison, if it is true, can at least send the true God into "hibernation", or give Him "general anesthesia".

Loki didn't hesitate at all. He immediately dropped his sword, half leaned back and took more than ten steps back, escaping from the snake's mouth. This god of lies and tricks used his greatest skill since the mythological era - running away.

One attack, one defense, and then a counterattack, just two simple rounds, a rustic way of fighting; it tested eyesight and reaction speed, and Loki was completely defeated.

Lin You did not stop, but took advantage of the situation and rushed towards Loki with his scepter. Although Loki was in a mess, the reaction speed of the true god was faster than that of the gold saint. Lin You rushed to the opponent three steps, and the god of countless lies and tricks appeared in front of him.

The light around was changing rapidly, distorting into countless strange shadows; everything that came into view seemed to be in a funhouse mirror, getting bigger or smaller and changing shape.

In addition to light, there are also sounds, including birdsong, insect chirping, wild animals roaring, blizzards, and all kinds of indescribable noises that make people feel upset.

Illusions and phantom sounds completely surrounded Lin You.

Lin You's reaction was not slow either; the moment the illusion appeared, he resolutely exploded his entire small universe; the small universe with divinity was like the blazing sun in the sky, the blazing sunlight spread in all directions, omnipresent and meticulous.

Sunlight has no killing power on illusions and penetrates through them unhindered; it only gives Lin You feedback when it encounters real divinity and divine power.

Loki immediately understood the writer's intention, and in a hurry, he left behind many illusions of his personality, shrank his body and turned into a beetle, and went straight into the snow. Unexpectedly, he had not gone down more than three inches when he "banged" into an invisible barrier, causing him to feel dizzy and swollen.

At the same time, Lin You, who "heard" the sound, flew over. His scepter came out like a dragon, and his long snake fangs were like blades. The fishy poisonous gas on the tips of the fangs could suffocate all living things in the world.

Loki revealed his true form in a panic, and dodged the fangs like a donkey rolling over; his body rolled over and over without stopping until he was seven or eight steps away.

Lin You stopped chasing and stopped at the starting point where Loki began to roll.

Wherever the God of Lies and Deceit rolled, the white snow suddenly boiled, and thick black smoke rose from under the snow, instantly turning the snow into a filthy quagmire; dirty steam floated above the quagmire, and one could feel bored and nauseous just by looking at it from a distance without having to touch it.

Out of caution, Lin You took two steps back.

The battle finally came to an end.

"According to the description in the myth, the only time in your life that you faced a strong enemy and insisted on fighting instead of running away seemed to be the time when you had to wait until the coming of 'Ragnarok' and faced Heimdall." Although Lin You had the upper hand, he did not look happy at all, because Loki was never known for frontal combat among the Norse gods.

There is really no sense of accomplishment in defeating such a god on the battlefield, because His most dangerous abilities have always been outside the battlefield.

"I just... want to hear you finish your words." Loki's face did not show any shame or embarrassment after failure, and his sophistry sounded serious. "You mentioned Odin just now, what happened to my sworn brother?"

"You may not know that Odin actually thought about killing me and put it into action; I was lucky to escape." Lin You was still alert to his surroundings while speaking. The golden snake stared at the blind spot behind him and kept spitting out long letters; "After escaping death that time, I spent half a day thinking about how to make Odin give up the idea of ​​continuing to chase me."

It sounds funny to link the time of "half a day" with the matter of "fighting against a God-King".

Loki asked with a smile: "What good idea did you come up with?" "The best idea I can think of is to scare Him," Lin You's words sounded a bit shameless, "so that He won't dare to attack me again."

"I never knew, apart from 'Ragnarok', what else could scare Odin?" Loki seemed to be disdainful, but he did not rush to deny the writer.

Lin You nodded and smiled proudly: "You guessed it right, it is 'Ragnarok'. Although you, the Norse gods, have tried your best, you can only delay the coming of 'Ragnarok' by freezing time; but what if I use the quill pen to guide the 'truth factor' and break your time freeze?"

Hearing the writer's words, the smile on Loki's face disappeared for the first time.

"Ragnarok" is something that humans in the real dimension believe will happen. The reason why the Norse gods can delay the disaster again and again is mainly because the "real factor" of the virtual dimension is scattered. Although its power is strong, it is dispersed into too many stories and ideas.

But if someone could gather the "real factors" and focus the human thoughts from the real dimension to the Nordic God Realm, thus promoting the realization of "Twilight of the Gods"...

The gods in the virtual dimension are simply powerless to fight against the collective will of humans in the real dimension, because humans are their creators.

"You can't... You don't have the power to do that." Loki said gloomily, "The Quill is monitored by the gods, including the Norse gods; you can't do this."

Lin You sneered, "You haven't figured out the key, have you? Not surprising, it took me half a day to find this loophole."

"Loophole?"

"Yes, a loophole." Lin You summoned the quill pen, floating in the air. "The prohibition imposed by the gods on the quill pen is that it cannot 'rewrite' content without the consent of the gods, especially content related to the fate of the gods. But 'Twilight of the Gods' does not fall into the category of 'rewriting'."

The writer deliberately emphasized the word "rewrite". When the words fell into Loki's ears, the God of Lies and Deception immediately understood the whole story and his face turned pale.

"Ragnarok" is the established storyline of Norse mythology and is also the destined fate of the Aesir.

The writer does not need to rewrite it at all, just let it happen naturally; he does not even need to make the action of "writing", as long as he uses the special function of the quill pen to expand consciousness and resonate with the "real factor" of the virtual dimension to the maximum extent, he can destroy the results of the efforts of the Norse pantheon for thousands of years.

"Doesn't this method perfectly circumvent the limitations of the Quill Pen?" Lin You beat the fallen dog and continued to attack Loki. "And it only works on your Norse pantheon. Who gave you a ready-made weakness like 'Ragnarok'?"

Loki's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "You can't do it. To break the time freeze of the Nine Realms, the number of 'Real Factors' required is unprecedentedly large; you can't control so many..."

Lin You interrupted the other party's long speech: "Do you want to try it?"

Loki seemed to be suddenly strangled. The author could actually ask this question in another way: "Do you dare to try?"

The quill pen is hidden deep in the soul of the pen holder, and even if the body is destroyed, it does not prevent the pen holder from using it. Perhaps this is why the opponent set up a magic array in advance when the attack occurred; on the one hand, it was to hinder Lin You's spatial ability, but the more important reason was to imprison the soul.

Odin's complete plan has never been limited to destroying the writer's body, but also to control his soul - even if it is only for a short period of time.

The Nordic God King may have discovered the loophole in the quill pen restriction earlier than Lin You.

"Is this what you rely on to dare to break into the time forbidden zone alone?" Loki said in a cold voice.

"Didn't you also say that I'm a cautious person?" Lin You asked with a sneer, "Every time I carry out a dangerous mission, even if I can't be fearless, at least I have to have a clear mind. Otherwise, I will definitely not accept this mission, no matter how much money I am offered."

"There are three of us who entered the time restricted zone at the same time. How many do you have?" Loki took out his few chips, trying his best to gain some initiative for himself - or face.

"Does a friend-enemy Patrick Morgan count?" The writer was indeed not confident about this question. "But I have an advantage. Sir Morgan is still begging me and has not completely given up the idea of ​​forming an alliance with me. And you... He has betrayed you. It seems that you are hiding something from Him?"

As he spoke, Lin You recalled the change in Morgan's expression when he heard that the four main gods of the Norse pantheon were missing; he was not sure what that expression meant, but it did not stop him from using it to trick Loki.

Unfortunately, Loki was not fooled.

“We have enough time and enough opportunities to create the ‘unknown’; you will run around during this time and find that you can’t do much at all.”

Lin You spread his hands and said, "Then why did you come to me and talk so much nonsense to me? Are you looking for an opportunity to fight with me?"

"No, I mean, you can seriously consider our suggestion." Loki went around in circles and finally returned to the original topic, "You help us figure out why the will of the big world refuses to communicate; and we will reduce the number of "unknown" events. This cooperation is beneficial to both of us, and we each get what we need."

"Each of us gets what we need?" Lin You did not comment. "Then I must first confirm how much I need in this regard. Is it worth cooperating with you for this? The risk of seeking the skin of a tiger is also not small."

Loki seemed a little unwilling, but did not say anything more; he laughed coldly, revealing his white teeth, and his figure gradually disappeared.

Lin You also left in a hurry. He didn't want to stay and risk being besieged by the enemy. However, until he left, he was still thinking about the transformation he had made to the snake wood - he didn't know if it would take effect after a hundred years?
The characteristics of the time restricted area almost cut off the internal and external communication of this time line. The author did not know that at the same time when he completed the journey, the magic world of the big world had undergone changes that were beyond the expectations of all wizards.

The moment Barty Crouch Jr. brought the caduceus to his master, and the moment Voldemort, who had been resurrected for the second time, called upon the caduceus in Parseltongue, the caduceus suddenly burst out with amazing magic power.

The magical beam of light that shot up into the sky alarmed the Ministry of Magic, causing chaos.
